In this chapter, the authors introduced cloudsim simulator and cloud computing role in online social networking. The communication incurred by other activities such as management jobs is negligible. Social relationships can be established for numerous reasons. For example, family members, colleagues, or classmates often have strong social interactions resulting in large communication load. Cloud computing as well as social network-based applications will become dominant in many aspects of life in the next few decades. The performance of such large-scale systems is characterized by system capacity in terms of number of users/clients, flexibility, scalability, and effective cost of operation, etc. Popular social networks have hundreds of millions of users and continue to grow.

This study defines the nature, scope, pace, and consequences of the rapid development of social networking in the 21st century. The impact of INFOCO systems upon civilizational development is investigated and predicted for the future. Such concepts as Global Virtual Society, Global Virtual Nation, Virtual Nation, Virtual Users, National Virtual Citizens, and Global Virtual Citizens are defined. Their electronic culture is defined, too. Finally some recommendations for further research are provided. In particular, the question of whether the concept of one world government is good or bad for mankind should be answered soon, in order to properly steer the further development of large-scale social networks.

<span>This research aims to measure the role of social networks in influencing purchasing decisions among consumers in Kuwait; the research used the quantitative methods, and analytical the technique to get the results, and the research developed a measure to study the relationship between the variables to the study and selection of a sample of consumers of (100). The results indicated that the social networking variables (exchange of information, evaluation of product) possess influence on purchasing decisions. Furthermore, the results indicate that majority of respondents do their digital scanning more often before intend to go to the store. The unexpected results came from the question “traditional advertising (TV, Newspaper, Magazine, Billboards) are more effective than the social networking; 23% agreed, 36% said no, and 41% said sometimes. In light of these findings, the study made a series of recommendations; the most important are; The executives and sales representatives need to understand the benefits offered by social networks, and understand the advantages and functions and tools of social communication, and knowing how to apply them effectively and efficiently, and then use the appropriate social networking tool.</span>


Cloud computing is the on-request accessibility of computer system resources, specially data storage and computing power, without direct dynamic management by the client. In the simplest terms, cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer’s hard drive. Along the improvement of cloud computing, more and more applications are migrated into the cloud. A significant element of distributed computing is pay-more only as costs arise. Distributed computing gives strong computational capacity to the general public at diminished cost that empowers clients with least computational assets to redistribute their huge calculation outstanding burdens to the cloud, and monetarily appreciate the monstrous computational force, transmission capacity, stockpiling, and even reasonable programming that can be partaken in a compensation for each utilization way Tremendous bit of leeway is the essential objective that forestalls the wide scope of registering model for clients when their secret information are expended during the figuring procedure. Critical thinking is a system to arrive at the pragmatic objective of specific instruments that tackles the issues as well as shield from pernicious practices.. In this paper, we examine secure outsourcing for large-scale systems of linear equations, which are the most popular problems in various engineering disciplines. Linear programming is an operation research technique formulates private data by the customer for LP problem as a set of matrices and vectors, to develop a set of efficient privacypreserving problem transformation techniques, which allow customers to transform original LP problem into some arbitrary one while protecting sensitive input/output information. Identify that LP problem solving in Cloud component is efficient extra cost on cloud server. In this paper we are utilizing Homomorphic encryption system to increase the performance and time efficiency

Social networking systems blur the distinction between the private and working spheres, and users are known to use such systems both at home and at the work place, both professionally and with recreational goals. In fact, several traditional information systems have been modified in order to include social aspects. However, in the vast majority of cases, social networking platforms are used without corporate blessing, maintaining their status as feral systems. This chapter provides some background notions about theories of participation in social networks. In particular, it reviews the notion of social capital, which may be important both for the individuals that are able to accumulate large amounts and for organizations. Subsequently, it shows the role of social capital in the participation in online social networking activities, in the various cases of virtual organizations, virtual teams, and online networks of practice. Finally, it describes the present situation and some possible prospects where social elements are being increasingly introduced into more traditional business systems, such as CRMs and ERPs, with great promises and mixed initial results.

Revolutionary development in field of communication and information technology have globally opened new avenue of marketing tourism and hospitality products. Major shift in web usage happened when Napster in 1999 released peer-to-peer share media and then with pioneer social networking websites named ‘Six Degrees'. This kind of interactive social web was named as ‘Web 2.0'. It would create openness, community and interaction. Web2. is also known as Social media base. Social media is incudes “all the different kinds of content that form social networks: posts on blogs or forums, photos, audio, videos, links, profiles on social networking web sites, status updates and more”. It allows people to create; upload post and share content easily and share globally. Social media allows the creation and exchange of user-generated content and experiences online. Thus, social media is any kind of information we share with our social network, using social networking web sites and services.

Across developing countries, the role of social networks and social capital in facilitating women's access to income is well documented. However, less is known about how networks facilitated by social networking sites (SNS) may transform women's economic opportunities in these regions. In this chapter, I draw upon a relatively recent phenomenon of the use of SNS as a medium of trade in urban Indonesia. In 2010, I conducted preliminary interviews to examine the dynamics of Facebook-facilitated trade among urban middle-class married women residing in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. The interviews highlighted beneficial links between social media, social capital, and productivity – by means of increased personal income. However, this effective link between SNS and income-generating social capital is likely to be a rather distinctive example, as it depends largely on the class, gender, and cultural specificities that shape the nature of online and offline social interactions among my target group.
